You are my hero for providing this.

A little shameless self promotion--I wrote an extension as well in my frustration yesterday. Does the same thing, and adds it to all services (Maps, Docs, etc.), just a nice quick and dirty fix. So as an alternate, here's the "Back to the Reader!" extension:

Damn. I read this DLS post, switched back to my Gmail tab and refreshed, and-- poof!-- my Reader link vanished.
I'm more concerned about what this says about the state of Reader. It's been a long time since it has seen any changes or improvements. Removing its link from the main set comes across like a demotion of sorts. I was hoping with the influx of Bloglines users (I know it was eventually rescued) Google would divert more attention to Reader.

I love my Reader and when it disappeared from that first line I thought, like Matt, that 'they' are probably getting ready to scrap it (like the late notebook, which I also used a lot). All I can say is I HOPE not. Thanks for the fix.

Reader is back in the main bar! How 'bout that. :-)
